Here are some more pictures from my thin client server project. I've been using this setup for a couple months now and everything seems to be running smoothly.

After some test fitting I came up with a plan on how to get the drive fit into the case. It's going to involve cutting down the main heatsink as well as installing some 40mm fans with a custom controller to keep everything quiet when the server is not in use.
About a year ago I decided to finally put together an indoor garden / hydroponics system in my basement. Here are some pictures from when I first set it up.
I build the whole table structure out of 2x4's and some old solid shelf pieces. The grow bed itself is about 2ftx3ft and about 1ft deep. The black plastic in the picture above was my first attempt at creating a waterproof basin, but it was also reused and had some holes in it so I ended up redoing the plastic with a brand new clear drop cloth. This survived the initial filling with water and hasn't broken yet. I purposefully over sized the pieces of wood that hold up the light so that I could adjust the height of the lights if needed.
